PORT ST. LUCIE - A tall male wearing a hooded sweatshirt robbed a Holiday Inn on U.S. 1 early Tuesday, according to Port St. Lucie police.

The incident at the Holiday Inn in the 10100 block of South U.S. 1 happened about 2:10 a.m. Tuesday, police stated.

The male entered through the main doors and demanded money while pointing a revolver at a clerk. An estimate of the male's age was not listed.

No shots were fired and the robber got an undisclosed amount of money, police said.

The male is described as 6 feet, 2 inches to 6 feet, 4 inches tall. He is black, of thin build and weighs 150 to 170 pounds.

He wore dark shorts, a white T-shirt and a black hooded sweatshirt. The hood was up and the robber used his shirt to conceal the bottom part of his face.

The revolver appeared to be an older weapon with a faded, 6-inch barrel.

Sgt. Robert Vega, Port St. Lucie police spokesman, said this robbery does not appear to be related to the five hotel holdups — mostly along Interstate 95 from Indian River to Martin counties — that have happened since January.

Anyone with information is asked to call Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273-TIPS or Port St. Lucie police at 772-871-5001.
